David Bowie who was shocked with an ambitious work “EARTHLING” at the 50th birthday. A live album that compiles such “1997” super-superb soundboard is appearing.
There are three sound boards included in this work, all of which are special performance for broadcasting. Mainly on television appearances at ” October 15, 1997 ”, Cambridge on April 8, 1997, Toronto on September 26, 1997, contains a bonus for the radio acoustic performance. Both are two sets of super-superb quality that symbolizes “1997”. Although neither is a usual concert, let’s first look at the whole image of “EARTHLING TOUR 1997” in order to image the position.

【October 15, 1997 “GQ MAN OF THE YEAR AWARDS”】 The
main work of this work is “GQ MAN OF THE YEAR AWARDS 1997” which appeared during the above “North America” ​​leg. Bowie was elected to the music department of “this year’s person” that male magazine “GQ” selects, and that awarded performance. However, although it was recorded, eventually it will not be broadcast and it will enter the store. In recent years the outflow shot has been circulated, and finally the whole picture has come to be known.
This work was recorded from the master that is best regarded as the outflow professional shot. In our shop we are supervised by the worldwide authority of Bowie research, but that person pushed the drumming, “I have not seen such a wonderful freshness so far”. Besides, the sound of this master was particularly amazing. There are various sound boards also in the “EARTHLING” era, but among them special grade. In fact, playing this work and flowing out is a super-beautiful sound of perfect official grade. Not only is it superior in tone quality but also separation of individual instruments and stereo feeling is brilliant and it is wonderful to have a stereoscopic feeling surrounded by bowie and bands.
Moreover, the vividness which is different from ordinary official work is overwhelming. It seems there has not been editing / processing after recording since there was only a collection and the vivid feeling unique to the direct combination of Mikku is amazing. Boasting a sense of sync with the guitar and the keyboard in the head, as well as the drums, the left and right breads are brilliant, the hitting sound is delicate enough to feel the vibes the skin trembles. It’s as if you are standing in the middle of a drum kit. Bowie’s own singing voice is more intense than that. Farewell to one word of lyrics, one of accent, super – real until even breath sound. The breath feeling that can not feel physically is felt by the ear, it is a close contact feeling that my head becomes a microphone and a singing voice is poured.
And the show drawn with that sound is also wonderful. Bowie himself is also recorded and there is a fighting spirit, as mentioned above only the middle of the “North America” ​​legs, and the regular bands are also in perfect condition. The true price of “EARTHLING TOUR 1997” is ideally engraved. No matter how pro shots are, I’d definitely like to listen to this on a live album. Moreover, as much as possible with headphones. It is a superb sound board overflowing such transcendent sounds and spirit.

【Acoustic Show of Radio Recording】 Following
such a main part soundboard is the best sound board 2 kinds. Both are acoustic performance recorded for radio broadcasting, it is a studio live with only Reeves Gabrres and two people. The first is five songs recorded at “WBCN” on April 8 before the tour began, the second is 6 songs “The Supermen” recorded at the Canadian broadcasting station “102.1 THE EDGE”.
This is also a wonderful sound, the sense of close contact unique to acoustic is wonderful. The cutting of the two people is brilliant even to the nuance, and of course the singing voice is super direct. The feeling of the room feeling like having seated in a very narrow station studio is the best sound board. And that performance is good again. Although unpleasantly it is quite adorable to say unplugged, this session gyakaka type that gains momentum glows. Besides, it is not a comfortable session just replacing the electric car with an acoustic guitar, but the place where the ingenuity is also tackled with the chitin is the essence of the perfectionist. Especially “Scary Monsters” is a novelty that the country touch of Johnny Casharu is great and it is vividly felt because the skill of Leaves is unplugged. Bowie ‘s unplugged itself is valuable, but there are more than six tune fragrances more than that.

A precious acoustic session with “GQ MAN OF THE YEAR AWARDS” that condensed the taste of “EARTHLING TOUR 1997” although it was a special show on TV. It is a masterpiece sound board which can feel the bowie soon as to be touched if one reaches out. Two books spelled at the highest peak master ever by researchers roaming both. A live album that I would like you to put next to “EARTHLING” as a symbol of 50 years old Bowie. Please enjoy forever with a permanent preservation press CD that does not lose its radiance.
